SESSION EIGHT
Okay, Dad, it’s almost graduation.
Seven whole weeks past—
Doomsday.
Yeah.
So time for some real serious questions.
Uh-oh.
What’s the best meal you ever ate?
(Laughs)
Probably one I had in Italy one summer with your mother before you were born. It was the kind of meal that went on for hours.
What about your happiest childhood memory?
My mama teaching me to sew.
The time you felt most proud of yourself?
The day I was accepted to college.
And it’s almost your turn now.
No rush.
Not yet.
Nope—first you have to walk the stage.
(Long pause)
Dad, why are you crying?
Don’t worry, honey. These are happy tears.
